Chapter 6 Competitive Trial Repair

Xu Miaoyun smiled and thanked her, and Dong Zicheng patted his chest and said: "Whoever follows the other, sister Miaoyun is just like my biological sister. You can order whatever you want, and don't be polite to me."

Zhang Baoer looked around and was a little unhappy: "Why are there no dishes I want to eat?"

The Zhang family is also a big family in Hangzhou. The Dong family has business contacts with the Zhang family. The two families are also close friends, so Dong Zicheng and Zhang Baoer also know each other. Dong Zicheng smiled and said: "I didn't know you were coming. Besides, your family

You don’t have anything and you’re here to take advantage of me.”

Zhang Baoer was spoiled by his family and was a bit petulant and willful. After listening to Dong Zicheng's words, he glared at him unhappy. Dong Zicheng was not willing to be outdone. Xu Jinghuan smoothed things over and said: "Okay, how old are you and you still get angry with the little girl? I remember Baoer's most

If you like pearl meatballs, add another pearl meatballs.”

Zhang Baoer suddenly became proud and made a face at Dong Zicheng.

During the dinner, Dong Zicheng and Xu Jinghuan talked mostly about Qiu Wei, and they discussed their homework. The two little girls didn't understand, so they leaned out of the window to watch the excitement.

The Louwailou is close to the West Lake and is the most famous restaurant in Hangzhou. Anyone visiting the West Lake must come here to have a rest. Firstly, it is close to the West Lake. It is also interesting to drink tea while watching the scenery. Secondly, the Louwailou is decorated.

It is clean and elegant, not like other restaurants that are blindly luxurious, but rather tacky. Even the literati and elegant people feel decent when they come in and sit there.

The building outside the building is divided into three floors. The lobby on the first floor welcomes ordinary guests. The second floor is open and the windows are wide open and can be removed. When the weather is good, Xiangfei bamboo curtains are hung. Scholars and scholars come to drink, recite poems, drink tea and compete with paintings.

It is very lively. The third floor is a private room, which is high and suitable for viewing. Usually the guests are the rich and powerful people in Hangzhou. Dong Zicheng is very wealthy. There is a private room in the building outside the building, which is vacant for him.

Zhang Baoer had many ideas and said: "When I came up just now, I heard someone on the second floor saying that students from Siwen College and Wenhua College are coming to compete again today. Let's go and see the excitement later."

Hangzhou has a strong literati atmosphere and a large number of students. Four major academies stand in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Later, Taoist Academy in Nancheng merged with Siwen Academy in Xicheng, and Xiangde Academy in North City merged with Wenhua Academy in Dongcheng, leaving only two major academies.

.

Students from the two academies were not convinced by each other, and often got together to compete in knowledge, poetry, or piano playing in the building outside the building. This has become a common practice and a major elegant event in Hangzhou.

The students of the school have to calculate the date carefully. If they happen to encounter a fight between two academies, they will gain experience and knowledge.

Xu Jinghuan turned out to be a student of Wenhua College. The old lady was worried that he would get into trouble because of a group of angry students, so she called her home and asked her husband to teach her. Xu Jinghuan also understood the old lady's worries and had never attended such a gathering.

Everyone at Mandarin College felt sorry.

When he was a child, Xu Run'an brought the three sisters of the Xu family to watch the fun once. It was not a competition of knowledge, it was clearly a quarrel, a back and forth of words, and Xu Miaoyun was so scared that she did not dare to go again. But as she grew up, she found it quite interesting.

It's just because of my bad status.

Now that Zhang Baoer brought it up, Xu Miaoyun was also moved. She talked to Xu Jinghuan, covered herself with a silk hat and ran to the second floor to sit and wait.

People from Wenhua Academy came first. When they heard that Xu Jinghuan and Dong Zicheng were also there, they went to invite them to watch. A young man said regretfully: "It's a pity that Senior Brother Xu and Senior Brother Dong didn't participate, otherwise the people from Siwen Academy would have fled."

.”

Xu Jinghuan smiled and said nothing, but Dong Zicheng patted the man on the shoulder: "Why are you so hopeless? You can still win without us."

Xu Jinghuan said: "Wen Wu is the best, we are just discussing knowledge together. Don't stir up disputes."

Dong Zicheng chuckled twice and encouraged him: "If you work hard, I'll treat you to dinner today."

Most of the people in the college are children from poor families and poor families. When they heard that they could have a meal in the building outside the building, they naturally agreed, and they all had high morale.

Without a cup of tea, people from Si Wen Academy also came, and there was also a new face. Qian Dengke from Wenhua Academy sneered and said: "Fei Wendao, have you exhausted your talents and brought in an outsider?"

Come and build momentum."

The one named Fei Wendao was very steady and said: "This brother also visited our academy. He heard about this and came over to join in the fun."

Qian Dengke is the leader of Wenhua Academy. Hearing this, he said: "I beat you in the calligraphy competition last time, but you are not convinced. It is up to you to decide what to compete with this time. We will accompany you to the end."

Fei Wendao's eyes flashed and he said: "Today is the game of Go. If you beat us today, I am willing to go to your Wenhua Academy to carry water and chop firewood and work as a handyman for a month."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in Wenhua Academy looked at each other in confusion. Fei Wendao had always been steady and never spoke big words. Today, it was strange. Could it be that the stranger was a Go master and he was secretly helping him, so Fei Wendao promised like this?

Qian Dengke said: "A gentleman promises a thousand pieces of gold. Just as you say, if we lose, I will still go to Siwen Academy for a month and be at my mercy. Who will you send?"

Fei Wendao smiled slightly: "Of course it is Mr. Ren."

Qian Dengke said angrily: "Fei Wendao, you said you are not a reinforcement who has moved in. This young man looks very strange. He is not from your academy at all. How can he represent your academy?"

Fei Wendao smiled and said: "Young Master Ren admires our academy very much and volunteers to be a nominal disciple." He then formally introduced the strange young man: "This is Mr. Ren, whose name is Ke and whose courtesy name is Ruoshan. He is from the capital."

Fei Wendao introduced him formally, even if Wenhua College was not happy, they all bowed their hands and saluted, and Ren laughed and said: "I appreciate the compliment from Brother Fei, but I really don't deserve it. I heard that Wenhua College is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, so please give me some advice.

"

Qian Dengke was a little hesitant. Fei Wendao dared to ask a stranger to take his place, and said such words again. He must be somewhat sure, but he didn't know how good Ren Ke's chess skills were, and he came from the capital. If he was really a master of chess,

, he just went to Siwen Academy to listen to orders. It would be bad if Wenhua Academy lost its reputation. If the dignified Wenhua Academy asked someone from outside to win, how could Wenhua Academy still have a foothold in Hangzhou city?

.

Qian Dengke looked at Xu Jinghuan, who was sitting aside and watching the excitement. When it came to chess skills, no one could compare to Senior Brother Xu. However, Senior Brother Xu had already said that he would not participate in such things. But other than Senior Brother Xu, the only one who could make a move was Wei.

Junior Brother Ya.

Qian Dengke looked at Wei Ya, who also frowned and did not dare to take the issue. Fei Wendao smiled and said, "How about it? If Brother Qian feels unsure, just pretend that I didn't say this, and let's try another approach."

Compete."

Qian Dengke was aroused by these words and immediately said: "Who says there is no guarantee? Mr. Ren is a guest from afar. If we win, we will probably cause him to lose face."

Ren Xiaoxiao said: "There is no end to learning. If my brother is more skilled, I should humbly ask for advice."

Qian Dengke winked at Wei Ya, and Wei Ya stood up and said, "Let's get started. I'm here to ask Brother Ren for advice."

The two people set up a chess game, with Wei Ya holding the black stones and Ren Ke holding the white stones. There were several circles of people surrounding them. Xu Miaoyun asked Xu Jinghuan in a low voice: "Brother, do you think Mr. Wei is sure to win?"

Xu Jinghuan said: "Wei Ya has a calm chess style, plays steadily, and remains unchanged in response to all changes. Even if he cannot win, he will not let Mr. Ren win easily. In my opinion, the possibility of a draw is greater."

Dong Zicheng said: "That Ren Ke looks like a noble man. If he was really famous, word would have spread here long ago. I have never heard of a Go master named Ren Ke in the capital."

Zhang Baoer said: "If someone is willing to be humble, you wouldn't know it." Obviously, Zhang Baoer has a good impression of the gentle and delicate Ren Ke.

Dong Zicheng was immediately dissatisfied: "Who are you from? Are you partial to Ren Ke's beauty?"

Zhang Baoer's face turned red and he muttered: "Food and sex are all part of the equation. I'm just partial. What's wrong?"

Xu Miaoyun couldn't see the chess game because someone was blocking it. She only knew a little about Go. Unlike Xu Peining and Xu Jinghan, both of whom were masters, they could sit in front of the chessboard for an entire afternoon, immersed in it.

After half an hour, the crowd screamed, and Xu Miaoyun hurriedly looked over, only to hear Wei Ya's laughter: "Young Master Ren, I accept the concession." It seemed that Wei Ya had won, and someone from the Siwen Academy murmured: "Only."

It’s just half a win.”

Ren Ke was very graceful: "Jiangnan is really a land of outstanding people, and there are many talented people. I have learned from you. I just have a plum blossom chess game here. I can't figure it out. I would like to ask Brother Wei for some advice."

Wei Ya thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
